    Stopped at The Burger Barn in Pollock Pines and it did not disappoint! Service was quick and efficient--our food came out fast, prices were solid, and the pastrami sandwich we ordered was pretty frickin' good. Honestly, everything we had hit the spot. The vibe of the place is great--rustic and cabin-like, with a big patio under the pine trees. They were able to fit our whole crew outside with no problem, which was perfect since we were riding with a group. The walk-up ordering makes it super easy, and there's plenty of seating for larger parties (motorcycle groups, take note!). We'll definitely be back--good food, good prices, and a laid-back setting that's perfect after a ride through the mountains.

    Vegan, plant based, beyond burger with guacamole and jalapeños, added.

    well, this is a pleasant treat here at the 4000 foot elevation of Pollock Pines along the historic pony express Trail. It's an independently owned burger slang'n business that has all the good stuff. Best of all for you plant based soy nugget huggers like me. They have a Beyond Burger that's top notch. Order this up with guacamole and jalapeño if you're a Hot One. cholula hot sauce is available too. The patio here is what i like the best. Theres a shade structure, huge plants and hella room for you and your menagerie of emotional support animals. Peep the photos. now git it!

    We stopped in for a quick lunch. I got a Reuben Sandwich - Made with thin Sliced Pastrami, Sauerkraut, Thousand Island Dressing, Swiss Cheese on Marble Rye. The sandwich was on dark rye, had about 3 layers of very thin pastrami and piled high with sauerkraut. See the picture, should be named the Sauerkraut Sandwich. Everyone else got burgers and they seem much smaller than the last time we were there. It wasn't horrible but pretty disappointing, there are not a lot of places to eat in Pollock Pines. I get things are getting expensive, up your prices and add a little meat. I zoomed in on the picture and there is hair on the sandwich. I never noticed it, when I ate it!

    If you haven't eaten at Burger Barn in Pollock Pines, you're really missing out--not just on the food, but the whole vibe. I had a juicy, flavorful hamburger, my cousin went big with a double bacon cheeseburger, and my dad tore through his Philly cheesesteak like it owed him money. My aunt got the grilled chicken salad with cheddar and ranch--and I don't even like ranch, but it looked so good I almost stole a bite. We sat outside on the patio under canvas shades and blooming wisteria. The sun was warm, the air was crisp, and the whole place just had this relaxed, timeless charm. You order inside and the super friendly staff brings your food out to you. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer. Right off Main Street next to the True Value hardware store, it's surrounded by trees and mountain air. The whole place feels like a little slice of peace with amazing burgers. Whether you're finishing a hike or just grabbing a bite with family, this spot hits the mark.

    We came here on Saturday afternoon because the people at the gate of the Sly Park recreation area recommended eating here. I had a black and blue burger with fries and a soda. Unfortunately, the soda machine was having issues and the soda tasted not nearly sweet enough and not nearly carbonated enough. The fries unfortunately were overcooked. The burger was good. The service was excellent, and the people were friendly.

    My friends and I stopped by Burger Barn after a 5.5-mile hike--starving and in need of a solid, protein-packed meal. This was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised! The place is small and cozy. We were the only ones there and got seated right away. Our server was friendly, attentive, and even asked if we needed separate checks up front (huge plus!). I'm gluten-free and don't eat beef, so I ordered a custom turkey burger on a gluten-free bun with jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, Swiss and pepper jack cheese, plus steak fries and a side salad. The salad was fresh and a good size, though the ranch tasted like standard bottled dressing. The burger was flavorful, cheesy, and satisfying, and the gluten-free bun (a $3.50 upcharge) was soft and held up perfectly--totally worth it. The restroom situation was a bit hit-or-miss--one clean, one dirty--but overall, a solid experience. Great comfort food and friendly service made this a spot I'd come back to after a hike in the area!

    Yummmm! Stopped in for lunch on our way to do some Ice House camping and it was delicious! It's located right off Pony Express Trail and they have a cute shaded patio area that is dog friendly. You can order inside or at the patio window. We ordered the Chili Fries, Bacon Blue Burger, Western Bacon Cheeseburger and the Kids Chicken Nuggets. Everything was so good! The burgers were flavorful and I loved the crispy burger buns! The Chili Fries were huge and the chili was great as well. We also ordered Peanut Butter and Oreo milkshakes that hit the spot on this triple digits day! Overall, this place is a must. Service was super friendly and you can tell that they take a lot of pride in their business! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! Check them out!

    Good food, came out hot. Burgers are good on size and tasty. We were seated quickly and given time to order. Food is cooked fresh, so it takes some time. 1 less star due to size of fries. We ordered a large but for $7 , it looked like a happy meal size amount.

    Chilling waiting for my stuffed burger master piece to be created.  Special foods takes patience Yelpstars.

    Wonderful hole in the wall that was walking distance from where we were staying in the town of Pollock Pines. If you're thinking where in the world is Pollock Pines?...well it's near Apple Hill where they bake the 5 star pies, apple turnovers, and I can consume everything my parents used to deny me as a young little chunk. Rolled into the Burger Barn and the two ladies working the Barn gladly assisted me even though one was still on her break. Ordered up one STUFFED bacon and cheese burger with waffles and one small chocolate shake. Let me tell you folks...A+ burger and real milkshakes made real with pride. Never seen a stuffed burger on a menu before so Chris G had to pound it! The burger, waffles, and milkshake was a great meal and I'm so glad I went to the Burger Barn. There's not a lot of options in this town, but this is an amazing one. Can't wait to return to the Burger Barn.

The new owner Dan has faced many hurtles in acquiring this business. I took the time to sit down with him and discuss my negative review I made. Dan is an incredibly nice guy that has worked very hard at getting this business going well and successful. He explained many things to me about taking over this business and I am happy to say that the future is bright for this quaint mountain bar and grill, as well as the store and gas pumps. The thing I like the most is the people that work here! They are locals that have been working here for years. They are quick to smile and help you with anything! The "Taco Tuesday's" are amazing! You will not find a better taco plate! Anyway, I have made the effort to check on their progress since the ownership change, and I would like to report a wonderful change and a friendly place to have a drink, gas up, refill your camping supplies, or get some great fishing advice as well as bait and supplies! Dan, great job sir! You have my utmost respect and friendship sir! You must stop in here! Truly a diamond in the rough!

    Pleasantly surprised!…read more We stopped here on a whim on our way back from South Lake Tahoe, after a round of golf. Walked in, not expecting much, but at least some decent food to feed our hungry belly's. It was Saturday evening around 615ish, front of house was running around, but when she spotted us, showed us to our table, gave menus, and apologized as it might be a minute before our server would be able to take our orders because it has suddenly gotten busier than expected (large place but only about 1/4 full, but with 2 large groups, one of which was just seated before us) she came back with waters while we looked at the menu. Once our server came she was polite and took our drink order, promising to be back to take our food order. Understandably it took longer than usual to come back, so another man came to take our order. He apologized for the wait and said he would be happy to take our orders. We think he was the manager or possibly owner, really nice gentleman. We ordered the tiger prawns and Brussels sprouts appetizers, I ordered fish n chips, my husband ordered the rib eye with Mac n cheese and our friend ordered the salmon. The Tiger Prawns and Brussels came out first and the tiger prawns were amazing! 5 large tiger prawns, a couple pcs of toasted baguette, and in a type of white wine garlic Alfredo sauce type. The sauce was perfection, as I dipped each bite of prawn and soaked the accompanied bread. The Brussels were just as amazing, fried to have a nice crisp to it, but not soaking in oil, so they must've been fried in the perfect temp oil or something, and the glaze was just right (a lot of places just drench them in glaze as they're sitting there soaked in oil, but not the case here!) The ribeye was cooked very well (medium rare) and the hubby thought the salt level was PERFECT. It was a little salty for me, but I don't like a lot of salt. My husband almost always orders a good steak when available, and he thought it was great. The accompanying side of veggies were great too! Heavy on the garlic, but we love garlic so we thought it was perfect. The fish n chips were good, fries were ok, but not my style. They were more like shoe string fries, but that's their thing and a lot of people like that style. The tartar sauce was surprisingly good, and not just that cheap store bought stuff a lot of places tend to give. Friend with the salmon said it was good and ate it all. The gentleman that took our order forgot to add the fish n chips, but quickly rectified it, apologizing and bringing out some fries for me to munch on as the fish was getting cooked. Not a big deal to me, as I was already happy with the other items we had. He also came to our table once we were done and chatted with us for a bit, which was very nice of him. Overall the food was pretty good and would recommend stopping here if you have a chance when you have some time to relax while you eat. The staff are all nice personable.
